The forecast for imports of refillable pocket lighters and gas-fuelled lighters to Germany suggests a consistent year-on-year increase in volume from 2024 to 2028, starting at 7.1732 million kilograms and reaching 7.7133 million kilograms. This reflects a stable growth trend, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period.
For future trends, it is essential to monitor:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable or electronic alternatives, which might impact traditional lighter markets.
- Regulatory changes in Germany or EU regarding gas-fuelled products that could affect import volumes.
- Economic shifts that impact disposable income and consequently the demand for non-essential goods like lighters.
